Tell me why /g/ hates AMD products so much? Generally curious. Also tell me why NvidiaTel is better.
For your first question, the answer is autism. For your second question Shill
garbage gpu support for gnu/linux.
garbage to the point where open source radeon drivers written by a bunch of neckbeards in their basements are superior to the ones conceived by amd """"""""""""""""""""'engineers""""""""""""""""""""""
>>58136308
I dont hate AMD.In fact I wish AMD made gpus that were as good as the top end nvidia ones.
In a perfect world there would be about 6 companies all vying for the top manufacturer instead of the two we have.

If you're looking for purchase advice, READ THE BUYERS GUIDE FIRST. Then post, stating budget and requirements (e.g. size and performance).
Don't buy anything OTHER THAN T, X AND W/P SERIES if you want the Real ThinkPad Experience™
Recommended models:
T420 - 14", normal size
X220 - 12.5", ultraportable

Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap.
>Excellent keyboards - tactile feel and quiet.
>Great durability: chassis uses a magnesium rollcage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels.
>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing in the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.

Why is life in Italy so shit? Literally no one sells Thinkpads, and the ones that are around on bidding sites are extremely overpriced.
Don't let me get started on those overpriced B-Ware German Cuckpads floating around eBay. Holy shit I'm triggered. I just want a comfy x230 for Xmas. Fuck being Yuropoor.

So after about a year the mouse click on my Rival 100 broke, won't hear a click anymore.
If I try to look up on how to fix this I just get stuff about sending it back to repair but why would I do that not to mention it is christmas so this will take too long.
Can anyone recommend me a good proper reliable mouse that isn't too expensive?
>>58134819
Anything that is not Steelseries, or a gayming mouse in that matter.
>>58135577
I need atleast 2 side buttons tho.
All the /g/ mice charts are absolute crap because the prices seem to have changed alot or it all just is twice as expensive in europe.
G502 of course.
I'm new to linux, but i've heard so much controversy around systemd, is it really a plot by NSA or is that bullshit?
Not quite a plot by the NSA(though that could be a thing), but it goes against the Unix philosophy: it does way too many things and eats up way too many programs(udev, mount, etc.), gobbling it all up into a single point of failure.
Once a program becomes responsible for doing almost everything on your system, a simple security flaw somewhere in one of its sections can be serious enough to compromise the rest of the system.
The way the Unix philosophy works, programs are kept simple(to some extent), and your system is a result of many programs thrown together, which means if you want to replace part A with part B, all part B needs to do is communicate properly with part C, that depended/used A.
>>58134731
GNU/Linux was build on mostly these ideas:
>don't make complex things, make small universal programs which can do just one thing, but do it in the best way possible
>let everybody do whatever they want with the code
And systemd is pure opposite of that. It is "subsystem", mainly used for managing linux deamons (services), but it has so many features, it will soon run doom and allows you to edit odt documents.
As people often points out the linux is wasting dev time by shattering power into multiple systems, systemd is try at unify the behavior amongst all distros.
Even if you develop apps for linux, it most likely doesn't concern you. Systemd concerns mostly low level stuff, like managing drivers, hardware, deamons.
It is big change toward complexity and a lot of people don't like it.

ubiquitu software for the AP, Zabbix and sabnzb. Although I don't recommend running sabnzb on it.

Big advantage of SBCs: You can use cheap mass-produced USB battery packs as uninterruptible power supplies.
Even a 10000 mAh USB battery can power an RPi for many hours.

How can I get through this ? This is my first month and ... Lol I have 23 more months to pay off Nexus 5X.
>not buying your phone off contract
>>58134223
I think you made a pretty bad mistake. If you have t-mobile coverage at all there are like 3 MVNOs that offer true unlimited LTE for under $70 a month. Anyway, people very very drastically over estimate the amount of performance they require from their phone. I guarantee you if I took the internals from my $100 Galaxy S4. No, fuck that, from my $12 moto e, and some how put them in say a Galaxy S7 body, you could never tell the difference.
A low end chip is perfectly sufficient for web browsing, messaging, music, etc. What 99.9% of people do on their phones. Try to get out of your shit contract and pick up a new phone. You can buy the moto g4 play on verizon prepaid for $75 and it is GSM unlocked out of the box.
disconnect mobile data when you're on wifi?
is that too difficult?
